Sundried Tomato Grilled Chicken

There is food coming out of my ears. No joke. I made fresh salsa, pulled pork, homemade bbq sauce, zucchini bread, cinny buns, chocolate donuts and then made dinner for us last night. Kept it simple with ground turkey taco salad but still. Sweet baby Jesus...ITS THE DAY! We leave for Dave Matthews today! AHHHH. I have been waiting alllllll summer for this camping trip. I am beside myself in excitement!

me and sissy, tailgating before Dave last year.
My dad, sis and myself, with dark hair.
All the food prep is done, and we are packed, just need to load up the man van. Oh and Scott needs to get his wod in for the day. Guess what?! I am shooting for my hip flexor to be healed up enough to get my butt back in the gym Tuesday. Cross your fingers and send me positive thoughts please! I cant wait to get my booty back in there and throw some weight around and sweat in agony. I'm getting all soft and shit. Ew.

I know milk isn't paleo. But I have organic whole milk in my coffee right now and it is heavenly. Totally adds a delicious flavor to it. MMM. We got a french press that makes 8 cups for the trip this weekend. Hail Allah! Cause Scott will put down a whole pot of coffee and I drink a couple cups. The single serving french press doesn't cut it.

I don't have a recipe with pictures today so I will give you a couple ideas. One of our breakfast this weekend is going to be french toast. Yeah, I said it. FRENCH TOAST! I made a beautiful loaf of Zucchini Bread and we are going to coat it in eggs and fry it up. I will get some pictures of it. I don't see why it wouldn't work out and be tasty. So if you dare to try it. Do it! The recipe for the Zucchini Bread is right here....

Zucchini Banana But Bread

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup grated zucchini water squeezed out
3 eggs
2 tbsp raw honey
1 banana mashed
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tbsp coconut oil melted

Preheat your oven to 350F, bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes or so and remove from bread pan. Continue cooling on rack.


This next recipe is from coach Anna at CrossFit GP. She went to culinary school and is a chef! I haven't had the chance to make this either BUT it does sound delicious and very summery. So if you want to try it out, here it is!


Sundried Tomato Grilled Chicken

1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
3 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
A few sprigs of parsley (optional)
4 small chicken breasts

Combine the wine, tomatoes, basil, olive oil, garlic, pepper, and salt in a food processor and mix until smooth. Add the blend with the chicken to a zip lock or storage container. Make sure the chicken is covered in the sauce. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
Grill about 20-30 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160F.
Garnish with fresh Italian parsley. You can also use dried tomatoes and reconstitute them in oil over night. Make sure you use a merlot or other dry red wine.


Doesn't that sound amazing?! I think so. I need to make that next week. Yep I'm doing it. Then I will give you some late notice photos. Better late then never right?!

So I am really super excited. I got 52 new likes in the past day! So neat! Thanks to Baker Leavitt, who has 2 POOD and KILL CLIFF Recovery Drink. He gave me a shout out on both of those pages and now I am getting all these new followers! Its so great.

So I am going to try and get a recipe up tomorrow but I am not sure of the situation for wifi. So I apologize in advance if I do not. But, technically I put up two today.

Have a beautiful day people!!
